 SAN FRASCIsCo, July 23.-A syndicate of ten Nevada men has been formed to | construct a railroad across the state ! from the eastern 10 the western bOun- diary, the line running, It is understood south Of E1reka and passing through ! and opening up 9 rich mineral country. | JEe object of the enterprise, however. IS not SO much the construction of the road as to bring return to those who ! originated the plan, as they know 1t ! W4a1 De IuEtuh-tU b2 u5G VI Dg | some Of the great railroads now heading
 toward the Pacific coast There are three eastern roads winch could easily
 make such line part Of their own,
 namely, the Union Pacific, Denver { Rio Grande and the Burlington and | Chicago & Northwestern. The latter is now some distance west of Fort Fetter- man, and is north of the Union Pacific line. and the general opinion IS that it
 is heading for Boise CIty, where con uection will be made with the Oregon ! Pacific now pushing eastward from Yaduina bay. Yet the existence Ot Q ] road across Nevada with su easy en-
 trance into California would probably
 prove an iniucement to defect the line Il to the south. The Union Pacific and Denver G Rio Grande, however, are
 much nearer and the fight for the pos
 session of the link would doubtless be
 between them.
